Afraid sound like a frayed.
Is the clue right?

yes the clue is right.

Looks like a setter's error.

^^^ no such word

A better answer than repeating a word from the clue but how does it parse?

ok - it's not in my Concise Oxford!

still looks like the clue should have been "scared" of a ragged broadcast ...then afraid would fit ...a frayed (sounds like)

dr// how does it parse?//
It doesn't.

Would tend to go along with - roslyn251254 -setters error.

see also Chambers, afeard used by Shakespeare. The parsing is unclear but parsing it a plus frayed leads to afraid!

Has anyone loooked online to see if theyeve corrected the clue there?

Bob, I checked the Private Eye website but the last crossword there was No,717
